It has a lot of fans. I think the gameplay, music and art direction are legit 10/10. I have my issues with it but I still love it. All the 13 games are imperfect but fun in their own ways
@@TheLordAizen 13 is garbage and that's a shame because 13-2 and returns are masterpiece and have a very good story to tell, fortunately there's a summary of the events on 13-2 start screen so people can start with this one instead of suffering through 13
It was a million times better than XIII. I got XIII-2 in a raffle but never played XIII. So I played XIII and was so mad I almost didn’t go on to play XIII-2. I’m so glad I did. Such great gameplay, music, and characters. Serah is such a better character than Lightning.
@@AB-dd4jz While I do love the battle system in Lightning returns, that game is far from a masterpiece. Absolutely nonsensical story with all fluff and no substance at all. The first one despite its flaws is atleast solid and shouldn't have spawned any sequels since it ended properly.
Gosh, such a memories you reminded me with this song.. In a way or another Final fantasy died in my heart with this episode, all then was a different emotiotions and feeling, don`t know why or how, but that`s it 😔.. Still interesting games ahead, but the final fantasy series was something I was so fond of..

Finally played the XIII trilogy and this has to be one of the best songs, besides Dust to Dust. The trilogy is filled with beautiful tracks, some of the best in the franchise.
It's a real shame the trilogy doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves. Its a masterpiece in multiple ways, yet is frequently hated on as a black sheep of the franchise 😢
Same - thats why I'm here. it came up on spotify and I decided to listen to it off of youtube like I used to back then before Final Fantasy was brought to music streaming.
Final Fantasy XIII series is my favorite. I love SCIFI time travel stories movie games or anything related that is why XIII-2 is my favorite out of all final fantasy the music is so good. All emotion in my journey playing FFXIII-2 I wish I could play it again for the first time.
I can come up with SCIFI time travel stories movie games that may closely relate to both Final Fantasy 13-2. That will be Tales of Phantasia. In Tales of Phantasia, there is a story of Valhala War and there is also Valhala War in Final Fantasy 13-2. Tales of Phantasia is considered a time travelling game. What Lightning did with Noel which is something similar to what Morrison did. The part where I stay behind and fight and you all time travel. Lightning stayed behind to fight Caius while Noel starts his time travel journey. When Morrison stays behind to fight, the rest of the party members starts their time travel journey. One thing for sure is Tales of Phantasia and Final Fantasy 13-2 won't copy the same reenactment. Party members would come back and rescue Morrison from getting killed because originally Morrison got killed after sending them on time travel journey but the party members saves Morrison on a same spot he is supposed to be killed. As for Lighting, Noel and Sereh will not go to Valhala to see Lightning on the same spot Lightning sends Noel on time travelling journey.
When I started playing Final Fantasy 13-2, I used to think like wow, I bet Noel and Sereh will go back to a same spot where Lightning sends Noel time travelling but nope, not everything will reference Tales of Phantasia. Only small portions will reference it such as Valhala War and the beginning of a time travelling journey.
On the contrary; I've never played this game but I love this piece and listen to the soundtracks of Final Fantasy XIII/XIII-2, and Lightning Returns all the time. I loved Final Fantasy VIII and IX as a child though and Nobuo's music from those earlier titles.
Noel's theme is a sad theme. The singer also changed the narrative of the story where instead of Noel being a boy, he is a young man. I mean there is no scenes where Noel spent his childhood training under Caius. I am sure the singer may only be counting as Noel being a teen which might of why Kokia might describe him as just a boy. After all, Noel is 18 years old. Lyrics Long ago, when I was just a boy So alone then, last of my kind in the world I believed futures could be reborn I would go back in time Change what's to come Hunting, searching for futures I've dreamed Ever chasing, believing visions unseen Hearing that hope is futile Only inspires me not to give up Valhalla is calling me to the end I can hear now the beating hearts of lost friends Urging me to not forget them As the last hunter I'll find the key
this song reminds me of better times in my youth. great game.
I feel that everyone has at least one game that everyone seems to hate except for them. Final Fantasy XIII-2 is one of mine.

Glad to be alive in the same era Final Fantasy XIII-2 came out, y’all have good taste in both gaming and music if you’re here
Probably the most beautiful piece of music composed for a video game.
All Final Fantasy games have serious kind of beautiful musics.

honestly this game has the best ost of the entire franchise
Ahh me lo completé hace unos meses y esta canción me da ganas de jugarlo desde cero otra vez
NOEL 😭
That reminds of Dragonguard 3
I don't like Final Fantasy 13 but this song brings tears... 13-2 aspect of monster collecting was awesome though. I still love my white Behemoth.
FF XIII-2 did it before Palworld and wasn't sued by Nintendo... 😅
Reminds me of My Star from FFXVI
A shame how mankind can only really appreciate such a beautiful masterpiece in a game! Sad story! I shall play this again!

damn been years
yep

Lyrics
Long ago, when I was just a boy
So alone then, last of my kind in the world
I believed futures could be reborn
I would go back in time
Change what's to come
Hunting, searching for futures I've dreamed
Ever chasing, believing visions unseen
Hearing that hope is futile
Only inspires me not to give up
Valhalla is calling me to the end
I can hear now the beating hearts of lost friends
Urging me to not forget them
As the last hunter
I'll find the key
FF6 T EDITION brought me here
Heard it closely, the melody's almost identical to Jenova theme in FF7...
Only Xenoblade has better music
You guys are here because you like FF13-2. I am here because of Festival of Champions dub. We are not the same.
This brings tears to my eyes. . . v.v
And then when he says he didn't want to kill caius 😢😢😢😢😢
